I’m not accepting it, I’m doing what I can to change it, but it’s true that when voters feel apathy it benefits Republicans more. That’s why it’s important Democrats change to energize voters and reach out to more non-voters.

How Zohran Wins: show up to the primary if you’re a registered Democrat in NYC or vote early (early voting has already started). It’s very important you reach out to as many like-minded friends and family as you can and tell them to vote in the primary. When they fill out their ballot they should if at all possible put five names on the ballot but they should NOT put Cuomo’s name on the ballot at all, not even last. When it’s election time I’m loud as heck about it, I ask people if they need a ride. I’ve been thanked before because people who I thought would be guaranteed voters actually needed the reminder and said they wouldn’t have voted if it wasn’t for me. Please try doing likewise. Never assume someone is going to vote. Always ask if they will.
Filling out the ballot fully and excluding Cuomo’s name on the ballot is very important because he’s a sexual harasser and because he’d likely lose the general election. It’s going to be a tough general election because of Adams running as an independent. Cuomo and Adams are similar in a way so NYC needs someone who’s different. It’s basic marketing, kind of like product differentiation.
Each rule we change fixes some of the rot. It’s like a journey. Think of it like walking from California to New York. It’s not something that happens in one day. People may tell you that you cannot do it, but you can. Those who put in the work will be rewarded. Passing an inheritance tax would be like successfully walking from California to Colorado. Not there yet but you made progress.
Except with politics it’s easier, instead of needing to do the whole walk ourselves we can each contribute a small amount of walking based on what’s within our means and that walking we contribute collectively adds up to the journey and together we can achieve the journey much easier.
The Grayzone has suspicious ties to Russia.
The Grayzone publishes questionable material, stating that a Chemical Attack did not occur in Douma, Syria OPCW investigator testifies at UN that no chemical attack took place in Douma, Syria. They have also promoted conspiracy theories, such as claiming that Pete Buttigieg is a CIA agent. There is no evidence to support this claim. Finally, according to Radio Free Asia, The Grayzone content is frequently shared by the Chinese Communist Party media outlets “CCP propaganda is also increasingly laundered through Western influencers and denialist fringe media outlets like The Grayzone,” the report said, adding that, between December 2019 and February 2021, The Grayzone was cited at least 313 times in Chinese state media.”
Finally, The Grayzone promotes conspiracy theories involving George Soros funding regime changes, and the editor Max Blumenthal claims that Bill Gates ran a Covid simulation before it occurred. This is false. In general, The Grayzone promotes a socialist left perspective that promotes conspiracy theories and pro-Russian/Chinese propaganda.
Falsely claiming that there were no chemical attacks in Syria is a hallmark of Russian propaganda.
Even if this article is correct I would avoid giving them your clicks because of their weird ties to Russia.
If you want another source Snopes reported on this as well: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/us-army-tech-executives/
Boycotting Twitter and all of Musk’s companies is now more urgent than ever. Grok is going to be even more rigged to spew out hateful nonsense.
If the people you subscribe to are not ones who monetization is important you may want to consider reaching out to them and asking if they’d consider cross posting to PeerTube or another YouTube alternative. They may appreciate not putting all their eggs in one basket and reaching new potential fans.
If Republicans want to play that game Democrats should hold hearings on Trump’s mental fitness. He’s the one who’s actually in office and the one who clearly has cognitive decline.
I hope they crush SpaceX one day.
This is posted on NY Post a website owned by Rupert Murdoch the same person who owns Fox News. It uses a misleading headline saying “car crash injuries” which actually means a similar type of injury you’d get in a car crash but most people would read it thinking that a car crash was somehow involved in the story despite there not being cars anywhere in the story.
Here’s a more reputable source for the same story: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-63649144
I just prepared another company to add to my boycott list.
MTG is brainwashed by RT, tin foil hat conspiracy theories and memes from random people. Basically Fox News and NY Post are not crazy enough for her.
Registered Democrats in NYC: you have the chance to make a difference right now! Vote early now or show up June 24 for the NYC mayor primary. Fully fill out your ballot with five ranked choices. Exclude sexual abuser Cuomo from your ballot because even if you put him last it could in theory help him.
Keep boycotting all of Musk’s companies until he’s bankrupt and behind bars. Boycott Tesla and boycott Twitter. Remember to tell your friends that Tesla cars are unsafe because of their electric locks that can trap people in the cars in an accident and have build quality issues.
Why pay money to a company who wants to destroy you? No government should give a dime to Peter Thiel’s Palantir. Thiel is an evil sociopath who may have murdered his boyfriend. He also wants to basically abolish government. A government giving money to Palantir is like a snake eating its own tail.
They should ban American gas too! American gas funds Trump and global far-right extremism.
We need renewable energy not only to save the planet but also to stop funding dictators and terrorists with oil money.
Whoever was filming the video did a great job! I really liked the way the cameraperson walked around the truck and clearly showed as many identifying numbers as possible. If you see any far-right thugs do likewise.
Did she get some fake Botox?
Gillibrand must be primaried. Gillibrand’s top donor to her campaign was AIPAC and she’s received a lot of money from Coinbase (cryptocurrency) and Andreessen Horowitz (yes Andreessen as in Marc Andreessen the egg-head Trump donor).
I endorse Clyburn’s primary challenger.
